Francisco Pizarro

Francisco Pizarro was born sometime between 1471 and 1476 in the town of Trujillo, Spain.

In 1509, he sailed across the Atlantic to Panama. He was awarded the position of the mayor of the newly founded Panama City from 1519 to 1523. After his time as a mayor ended, he undertook two quests to try to conquer the Inca empire: one in 1524, and another in 1526. Both attempts failed miserably due to his lack of food, the hostile and strong natives, and unlucky weather.

He died on the 26th of June, 1541. He lived to the desirable age of around 70.
